Find out what gamers are saying about The Aether: Life as a God:
All in all amazing game but we wish there was more like choosing prophets and making a holy book and your own commandments.
No words can explain how good this app was this is a must for people who like to role play Zane.
Most amazing game we’ve played in years we wish there was more story after the end.
We loved this game! It was a pretty quick play but a lot of fun. We hope there is a second game or something similar in the future.
Put more in the game its too short make it longer.
We loved it. Absolutely. Was it short? Yes, but the quality makes up for that! Its definitely fun to play. You should make another, but focus more on the people, please. Do anything you want-for we have no control-but make it a story of how you helped your people, whether it be a specific group or the entirety, have pagan gods be issues which damage your being, make your existence become null when you are forgotten. Im no religious man, but we must refer you to the book of Exodus as an example. We find it to be a nice action-packed bit. If you read this, thank you. Warm Regards, CK.
This game is definitely worth the money, even though it is short. We like the feature that allows you to play it again. We hope there is a sequel. – Icy_K-bob.
This game lets you play as a creator of a universe! Although we feel like this game should have more work. Please add on to the game or make more created games please!!!
This game is truly amazing because it is excellent at painting a picture not only that it make you feel like your in another world.
We love the story and creating a world, its easy to get attached to the creatures and we would love to see an expansion to this game.
This game is absolutely amazing. The number of ways you can go with the story is impressive considering the lackluster qualities of some text-based games we’ve played. Worth every cent, definitely a must-play. You will not be disappointed.
First of all the story is way too short just playing through it the first time a game like this would take us probably 7 hours. This game only took 3. Second why cant you continue to play the game after maybe make it infinite you can play forever and make multiple planets solar systems and races and actually experience the life of a court god and continue to grow your power. Third we think if you gained power and have really high amounts maybe you could actually kill the titan rather than it killing you before you come back but other than that is is a great game and we’ve played it multiple times and spent many hours playing it but it could be expanded off of. Thank you for taking the time to read.
Loved the entire game, except for the court. We would love this game but only focused on you, the environment, and your people and would be great if there were more prayers to answer to.
Your race’s traits never seen to affect ANYTHING. Progressives advance at the same rate as fundies. Cooperative worlds have just as much predation and conflict as violent worlds. Events remain constant no matter what prior decisions have been made. Killing gods has no real influence beyond essence boosts, which doesn’t matter… SPOILERS . . . Because all your energy will be used in the final conflict, no matter how much you have, only for you to be saved by a literal deus ex machina. Appropriate in a god game, perhaps, but… . . . END SPOILERS our relationship with other gods didn’t matter. If we killed them or befriended them, it made no difference. Politics were essentially nonexistent. Nor were there tradeoffs: complying with Calabius’s request and backstabbing him garnered essentially the same amount of essence. Ylen was too dim to realize we were lying about the demon book having made its getaway. Asos gave us the exact same amount of energy whether or not he liked our changes. We could go on. But we think we’ve made our point. It’s a pity, because we enjoyed the premise and want to give it more stars. We can’t justify it, however. We DO hope, however, that the author produces more games. This was a promising first effort, and it would be great to see it expanded into a more detailed game.
Like previous reviews this game is really short. It could be really good but there isnt really enough content to merit the price tag.
Okay, this was fun, but we finished a play through within twenty minutes. We know that our reading speed is pretty high, but thats a little unfortunate since it was fun. We are now on a third play through and this will probably be our last. We just wish that they would make it longer because it ends right when it starts to get exciting…..
Really good game. We believe there is a bug though. We chose to slay the other court gods but they were all alive after the defeat of the Titan. Just wanted to let someone know and we are not sure the correct process for reporting these types of errors.
We absolutely enjoyed this game from beginning to finish! We’ve already recommended it to two other people! Addicting!
Id agree that the game was slightly short but other than that this game really just envelopes you in a different universe and the goings of it. Its a game you really cant stop playing once you start. Makes you feel kind of attached and also some what melancholy at the world we live in now. If you are looking for some insight to our own universe and some feels then this is the universe to play with :)
We enjoy this game so much, well written story that changes smoothly with each different decision. Our only dissatisfaction is with the length of the story, the devs definitely need to keep going with this adding new content and functionality to the game and it would be a masterpiece, as this is the only game of its kind(that we know of) and it has immense potential. Please devs, please!!! Add more content!!!
As a long time player of Choice Games, this one is by far the most buggy. The update fixed nothing and instead created another crash in the game. We’ve used Choicescript before and these crashes should have easily been caught with automated testing. Docking points heavily for that. The second thing is that ruling a planet has no payoff in this game, it’s clearly meant for a sequel hook because your race serves absolutely no purpose but to drain and give you energy. Truly disappointing.
Whoever wrote this, while capable enough in terms of imagination, is not very smart; they shouldve teamed up with at least one traditionally intelligent person to clean up all the grammatical errors and flawed passages. Quite often during our playthrough, we would let out a sigh and consider deleting the game. Ultimately, it managed to maintain just enough interest for us to reach a disappointing ending. We would only recommend this game to someone who doesnt think too deeply.
The game doesnt do a very good job remembering a lot of the choices we had made. For that reason, we cant recommend this game in its current state.
There was only one thing we didnt like so Ill start with that first. We disliked how short it seemed but we also played it fast. Now for the good, we really enjoyed the story and we are hoping for a second one thats longer and another planet to rule. We couldnt seem to put this down, every chance we got we were playing. The feeling of creating a race and planet and manipulating their way of existence is more fun we think than killing gods. All-in-all this was well worth the money.
Rather simple compared to other Choose-your-owns out there, but still an entertaining read. Worth it at it’s price.
Its a very cool idea and even has some great moments. The one horrible thing is once this game starts getting interesting it ends. Way too short for a payed game.
